Cabirac, Jr., a kind, gentle man and loving husband of Odile Jaubert Cabirac was welcomed into Heaven September 22, 2007. Born September 20, 1924, the oldest of four sons of the late Henry A. and Ida Jewell Cabirac, a family with deep roots in New Orleans, LA. Henry's life was shaped in the early years by his family, friends, faith, and the culture of New Orleans in an era spanning the Depression, WWII, and racial inequalities of the South. Henry graduated from St. Aloysius High School in 1942 followed by joining the Naval Officer Training program. Attending Tulane University concurrently, he earned a BS in Business Administration in 1947. Henry joined the family plumbing/heating contractor business after college but knew that he had not yet found his calling. In 1951, he met the love of his life, Odile Marie Jaubert and the two were married in 1954. Their loving relationship resulted in three sons, Henry A., Gary F., and Michael A. Cabirac. Henry was the proud and loving father- in-law to Kim Ann Odzinski, Sara Steinhilber, and Lori Gale Lookabaugh Cabirac and grandfather to Laura Marie, Lisa Rne, Michelle Elyse, Andrew Thomas, and Leigh Phillip Cabirac. In 1961 Henry entered into a phase of his life in which his selfless devotion to helping others would have broad impact. As Executive Director for the New Orleans Catholic Council on Human Relations from 1961 to 1964, he helped lead the CCHR in a successful program to desegregate parochial schools and public accommodations in New Orleans. The CCHR was also instrumental in encouraging Catholics in the New Orleans region to participate in promotion of civil rights. Henry's role in the civil rights movement of the time was driven by his religious faith and a strong belief in the equality of all people. In 1964, Henry, with support from a wife that shared his deep convictions for social justice, made the difficult decision to leave many strong family ties in New Orleans and accept a position as the first Director for the newly formed Human Relations Department in the city of Phoenix. Frrom 1964 to 1989, Henry worked tirelessly to develop and facilitate passage and enforcement of fair housing, public accommodations, and equal opportunity ordinances in Phoenix. During this time, Henry attended night classes at ASU to earn his Masters degree in Public Administration in 1973. In his position with the Human Relations Department, Henry also often participated on a national level in the promotion of civil rights. In 1989, upon retiring from his city position, Henry continued his passion for helping others by founding and serving as Executive Director of the Arizona Fair Housing Center, a private, non-profit center for central and northern Arizona. The Center conducted fair housing educational and enforcement programs covering rental, sales, property insurance and mortgage lending resulting in expanded housing opportunities for victims of racial, sexual, and disabilities discrimination. Henry left the AFHC in 2001 but the center continues the mission today based on the principles established by his lifetime work in civil justice. In his later years, Henry continued to contribute to local, national, and international causes he believed in by volunteer work with the Office of Peace and Justice of Catholic Social Services and the Catholic Relief Services. Henry was preceded in death by his parents and brother Hewitt. He is survived by his wife, sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, brothers, Larry and Elliott Cabirac, and many extended family members. A man of unwavering faith, honesty, and integrity Henry our husband, father, and grandfather will be lovingly remembered and dearly missed. Our comfort comes from the knowledge of his ascent to Heaven where he joins family and friends that once again will enjoy his company. A Mass in celebration of Henry's life will take place at 11:00 am on Thursday, September 27th, 2007 at Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church, 3220 W Greenway Rd., Phoenix, AZ.

He was 39 years old and would have been 40 on September 12, 2007. Beloved husband of Kyra Finnegan Cook, they were soulmates and each others one true love. He is so deeply missed by her and his beloved pets whom he loved as his children. Devoted son of the late Larry Jackson Cook, whom he dearly missed, and the late Gail DeGregolia Cook with whom he had such a special bond and for whom he held the utmost respect. Loving grandson of 'Maw Maw' Rita DeGregolia, whose loving support through the years was unwaivering and Craig always knew he could count on her. And also the late 'Paw Paw' John DeGregolia, whose strength of character and devotion to Craig and Family remained a constant influence in Craig's life. He is also survived by his brothers, whom he loved more than life had words for, Matthew Cook and Mark Cook, their wives Dawn and Tiffany, and their beautiful children whom he was so very proud of, Cory, his Godchild Kayla, his Godchild Colin, and Emma. He is preceded in death by his brother, Larry, and sister, Kelly, whom Craig has held so closely in his heart throughout his entire life. He is also survived by a sister-in-law, Kelley, whom he once said he wished he had the unbelievable strength he saw in her to survive life's pain and be there for her children, Emily and Michael, whom Craig had a special place in his heart for, seeing them as survivors of life's adversities. Nephew to many loving aunts and uncles, those that have passed and those that are still with us, many of whom had touched his life in special ways. He is also survived by many cousins who all had a place in his heart and he often felt a brotherly love with many. Also survived by dear friend, mentor and 'adopted' father figure, Zach Ellis, and his family, who considered Craig part of their family, and Ildie Rogers and her entire family, including her special children, his first Godchild, Jessica and her brother, Trey, who also loved him as family. He took great pride in his work ethics, award-winning projects and educational achievements. After graduating from Archbishop Rummel High School in 1985, he attended the School of Business Administration at the University of New Orleans. He then successfully completed the four-year National Joint Apprenticeship and Training for the Sheet Metal Industry recognized by the Louisiana Dept of Labor, in August of 1992. The next 12 years would include Craig working with mentors such as Zack Ellis; establishing his own roofing company; assuring his education continued through numerous resources and encouraging others in his field to do the same, and this would include his brother, Mark; next securing a position with the State of Louisiana Facility Planning and Control and ultimately obtaining his title as a Registered Roof Observer, RRO, in October of 2004. Craig's creativity, dedication to a job well-done, intelligence, and absolute ingenuity will be greatly missed in his profession. For those who live in Louisiana, Craig's work surrounds us. There are not many areas that do not include his projects. One very recognizable location in which he took great pride is the restoration of Commander's Palace. Both in his professional and personal life his generosity was unending. Sharing his time and talents with others was second- nature and his unselfish desire to help others succeed in any area of life was unwaivering. And, as many of you know, his charitable nature extended to animals as well-many of whom joined his family. Until the very end Craig was the most giving and loving man. But he was also a man suffering with the life-debilitating mental and physical issues that are Anxiety Disorders. He was searching for answers and would want others to know he fought daily to live life and that the love in his life saved him at the end of each day. A memorial fund has been established in his name with the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, www.adaa.org, and in lieu of flowers, the family prefers memorial donations be made in his name to this fund.

His kindness and generosity of spirit extended to everyone, from all walks of life, of every rank and race. His ongoing pursuit of medical knowledge, attention to detail, and compassion for his patients made him an extraordinary healer. Long after house calls went out of fashion and into his 80's, he continued to visit ailing friends and extended family in their homes. His consideration for others was apparent in everything he did. He is fondly remembered by both his family and his patients for attending to their comfort through the small act of carefully arranging their pillows. And he was not without a sense of humor. It was uplifting to be in the presence of his ready wit, intelligence, and joie de vivre. His grandchildren will always remember what they call 'the sparkle in Grandpa's eye'. Richard Alan Faust died of cancer at his home at the Lambeth House on September 16, 2007. He was born in New Orleans in 1922, and was a well known and respected member of the community.

Faust were eminent members of the medical profession; both were members of the Tulane University football team as well.

Breaking gender barriers and a pioneer for women in medicine, Dr. Klapper graduated from the Tulane School of Medicine in 1939. On April 17, 1946 Margaret married the love of her life, Dr. Clarence E.(Ted) Klapper. They were married for 44 years, upon Ted's death. Dr. Klapper was a distinguished physician and professor at the University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB). Transforming the transmission of medicine in 1969, Dr. Klapper developed the Medical Information System via Telephone (MIST). The first of its kind, MIST allows physicians anywhere in the US to consult via telephone with medical specialists at UAB. Still active today, the system processes thousands of physician consultations each year and has served as a model for more than 25 similar systems across the nation. In 1987, Dr. Klapper was awarded the Certificate of Merit from the Alliance for Continuing Education for her role in the development of MIST.

She has served as a Trustee or Advisory Trustee on the Baptist Health Foundation for more than 20 years. During that time Dr. Klapper served on many committees, in leadership roles and made many generous donations to the advancement of Baptist Health programs. However, Margaret's true gift and treasure was in her tireless devotion to the babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care unit, whom she lovingly rocked and fed. She served as a 'professional baby rocker' for two decades. When she became unable to rock the babies herself, her devotion to these angels did not end and she spearheaded a group to provide comfort, care and special gifts to the parents who suffered the tragic loss of child. She was beloved by Baptist Health trustees, medical and administrative staff, and patients. Over the years, Dr. Klapper has named 14 nurses in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit as 'Baptist Health Heros' and funded four special, technically- advanced isolettes. In addition, Dr. Klapper herself was named a 'Baptist Health Hero' for exemplifying the values of service, honesty, respect, stewardship and performance and a gift was made in her honor.

The daughter of the late Evelyn Lewis Parkerson and James Drehr Parkerson; her infant sister Jadye predeceased her. She is survived by her husband of forty years Robert Donald Lowe, her only son (of her prior marriage to Joseph Arthur Roy II), Lafayette attorney James Parkerson Roy and his wife Ginger, step-sons Casey B. Lowe and Cody D. Lowe, a step- daughter Kathleen Lowe, and three grandsons John Parkerson Roy, James Parkerson Roy, Jr. and Christopher Malin Roy, and step-granddaughters Bonnie Lowe Martens, Casey Olivia Lowe, Valerie Lowe, Elizabeth Caswell. Born in Opelousas, Louisiana in the old Seth Lewis family home, she finished Gulf Park Junior College in Mississippi (with honors), and later attended Tulane University's Newcomb College and graduated from U.L.L. (then known as S.L.I.). She was a member of Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Lambda Beta, Phi Alpha Theta and AOPi (serving as president of the Lafayette alumna club when organized). A devoted wife and mother, she worked throughout her life to help provide the Lafayette community with a safety net for the under-privileged and those persons otherwise without access to mental health, medical and other critical services. In the late 1950's, recognizing that public hospitals were not adequately addressing mental illness and its treatment, she was one of the co-founders of The Southwest Louisiana Mental Health Out-patient Treatment Center (now known as the Dr. Joseph Henry Tyler Center). It was one of the very first outpatient mental health clinics in the United States (the first in Louisiana). She helped assure its perpetuation as a permanent service for Acadiana, and worked diligently to change public attitudes about those suffering from mental illness. In 1964, the American Psychiatric Association proclaimed the center 'the best day-treatment center in the United States'. The Louisiana Psychiatric Association honored her by making her their first honorary psychiatrist and member. The Mental Health Association in Lafayette honored her as 'a pioneer of mental health whose courage, wisdom, and concern for humanity has helped others to help themselves'. In 1965 she co-founded 232-HELP, now known as 232-HELP/211 and has been its only Executive Director. Through 232-HELP/ 211, Jewell Lowe directed or coordinated such well known public assistance programs as The Milk Fund, Project Rx, the Beavers Club Wheel Chair program, The Epilepsy Task Force, Vial of Life, Campaign of Concern, Donated Dental Services, Eye Care for the Elderly and Handicapped, Help Line, Tel-Med, Tel-Law and 2-1-1. Perhaps the most important of her accomplishments in recent years was the establishment of 2-1-1 as a toll free call line system for ten area parishes; 232-HELP was first in the state and fourth in America to activate 2-1-1, an achievement that was the direct result of her tenacious leadership and long hours of service. Through 232-HELP/211 she leaves a legacy of caring, public service and philanthropy. A recipient of the Civic Cup Award, she was proud of her volunteer service in support of a number of Acadiana area charitable public service organizations, including University Medical Center, Hospice of Acadiana (Recognized as a Founding Member), American Lung Association of Louisiana, Acadiana Area Organ Donation Awareness Committee, Louisiana Organ Procurement Association, Msgr. Sigur Center, Louisiana Association for Retarded Citizens, The Outreach Center, United Way, ULL Foundation and many others. She also coordinated Continuing Medical Education seminars in Lafayette for many years. In 1973 The Louisiana Public Health Association presented her with the Dr. Felix Formento Memorial award for 'meritorious activity in fostering public health in Louisiana'. The Louisiana Hospital Association in 1975 presented her with the Outstanding Layman Award in recognition of 'unusually meritorious service to the health care industry'. She and her loving husband Bob enjoyed their many travels across the world, and endless hours of watching the wildlife and feeding the ducks at Moccasin Bend, Fairview Farms, and finally, Melange. A fierce advocate of any cause she championed, she was a member of the National Society Galvez Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and proudly claimed five generations of lawyers as direct ancestors, including Seth Lewis, who in 1800 was appointed by President Adams to serve as Chief Justice of the Mississippi Territory. Her family, friends, co-workers and the community will all dearly miss her. Visiting hours will be observed on the morning of the Funeral Service from 9 AM until the church service commences at 11AM only in Coughlin Hall at the Episcopal Church of the Ascension, 1030 Johnston Street in Lafayette. Following the service and Holy Communion in The Episcopal Church of the Ascension, private family- only graveside services will be held at the Protestant Cemetery in Lafayette.

Anna was a retiree of Chevron Oil Company and over the years wrote features and a column for L'Observateur newspaper in LaPlace. A dedicated jogger for eighteen years, and an avid tennis player for forty, she always had many interests but none greater than her family, especially the young nieces and nephews. It was Anna's wish that the funeral be private. It was her heartfelt belief that she was loved and comforted by others, especially her family, in life, and she wanted to be remembered as we knew her; plus she thoroughly disliked goodbyes. There will be cremation, and burial will be strictly private. Anna leaves her good wishes and love to all she has known, and in lieu of other remembrances would request that you donate in her name to the St. John Humane Society, St. John Animal Shelter, or any other humane society, and offer masses.' We, Anna Monica's family and close friends, will honor her request for private burial; however, we feel that it is certainly appropriate to honor Anna's memory and celebrate her extraordinary life. We invite the public to attend a memorial mass in her honor, and in celebration of her life. A Catholic Mass will be held at St. Hubert's Church, 176 Anthony F.
